Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to aerosol devices to dispense two immiscible liquid phases in a three phase system as a fine, dry spray. More particularly, it relates to a novel valve/diptube assembly for dispensing two immiscible liquid phases in a three-phase system, one of which is a gaseous propellant phase.
- valved eduction tube open at the bottom, provides for the propellant to force the material to be dispensed up the eduction tube and out of the container.
- phase II being a liquid or a solid suspended in a liquid.
- phase I is either a compressed gas or a vaporized propellant, such as hydrocarbon gas
- phases II and III are immiscible liquid phases, one of which may be a liquified propellant.
- An example of a three-phase system is an aqueous solution of a product as phase III dispensed using a hydrocarbon propellant wherein phase II is liquified hydrocarbon propellant and phase I is gaseous hydrocarbon propellant.
- an aerosol valve is fitted with a diptube (eduction tube) extending to a point near the bottom of the container and into the product to be dispensed.
- the product flows under influence of the propellant up through the eduction tube into the valve housing and is dispensed through the valve button.
- a vapor tap which usually opens into the body of the valve to mix gaseous propellant with the product stream, may be included in the device.
- Aerosol products including certain hair sprays, as solutions in water, or in water-alcohol solutions in which hydrocarbon propellants are insoluble.
- the aerosol product is present in the package as three distinct phases, as described above. This presents a problem of delivery in the aerosol package, since the package should be shaken to mix phases II and III, and this does not necessarily provide a uniform mixture. The mixture may also vary with each use, since the amount of shaking to obtain mixing may not always be the same.
- aerosol means for dispensing two immisible liquid phases in a three-phase system, which comprises a valve means and a diptube means adapted to draw off simultaneously both liquid phases to the valve means; said diptube means extending to a point near the bottom of the aerosol container and comprising means preferentially permeable or permeable only to a first liquid phase, and means preferentially permeable or permeable only to a second liquid phase, both means being substantially impermeable to the gaseous propellant.
- a porous plastic diptube open at the bottom, was used.
- phase III the water-alcohol solution
- phase II the liquified propellant
- phase I vaporized liquid propellant
- phase II the pressure of the propellant forces phase III product up through the diptube through the open lower end, phase II liquid propellant through the walls of the diptube so that it mixes with phase III product and vaporizes to dispense product as a uniform fine spray.
- the means provided by the present invention may comprise various adaptations of the aforementioned principle, as shown in the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a side view in elevation, with parts broken away, of the pressurized aerosol container for use with a three-phase system.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 represent alternative constructions for the valve and diptube assemblies of the present invention.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a valve and diptube device to dispense, at a uniform rate, a product which is insoluble in and immiscible with the propellant.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a valve and diptube means to dispense, at a uniform rate a fine mist spray of a water-based product using a water-immiscible hydrocarbon propellant.
- valve member 6 fits into top 5.
- Valve member 6 comprises a conventional aerosol valve, a housing 7, a stem 8, spray head 9, and a tailpiece 10, to which a porous diptube 11 is attached.
- the aerosol container 1 as shown has a three phase system, in which for example, phase I is vaporized propellant, phase II is liquified propellant and phase III is a liquid product not miscible with the propellant and which is heavier than the liquid propellant.
- the propellant may be a hydrocarbon, e.g. butane and the product phase may be a water-based hair spray.
- Diptube 11 extends to the bottom of container 1 and has an opening 12 at the lower end of the tube. Diptube 11 is formed of a poromeric plastic and has increasing porosity from top to bottom, i.e. it is more porous at its lower end. However, the porosity gradient is such that it is still only permeable to the phase II throughout its entire length.
- the porosity gradient is obtained by applying an impermeable coating 13 (i.e. a coating impermeable to phase II) over tube 11.
- an impermeable coating 13 i.e. a coating impermeable to phase II
- Any suitable coating material may be used, e.g. epoxy adhesives, rubber paints and the like, which are not reactive with the contents of the aerosol package.
- the coating is applied in a pattern such that the area of the tube coated is greater at the top end of the tube and least at the bottom. Thus the permeable area 14 of tube 11 increases towards the bottom of the tube.
- valve spray head 9 of valve 6 is depressed, gaseous propellant phase I exerts pressure and causes product phase III to enter opening 12 of diptube 11 and travels upward. Liquified propellant phase II passes through the porous walls of tube 11, and mixes with product and the mixture passes out through valve 6, spray head 9 and orifice 15.
- the vapor phase area I increases and liquified vapor phase II decreases.
- tube 11 is substantially impermeable to phase I it does not allow gaseous phase I to pass through. Due to the patterning of coating 13 on tube 11, the area of tube 11 through which phase II can permeate increases towards the lower end of tube 11. Thus, as the area of phase II decreases, the area 13 of tube 11, through which phase II can permeate increases. This maintains the flow of phase II substantially constant throughout the use of the aerosol package, and thus also maintains a constant ratio of phase II to phase III to assure that the product always is dispensed as a uniform fine spray which remains constant throughout the life of the aerosol package.
- a vapor tap 16 can be added optionally to admit phase I vapor to aid in draining phases II and III when the unit is not operating. This draining is desirable for optimum performance so that a burst of liquid propellant is not obtained at any time.
- the function described above is unlike the use of conventional vapor tap described in the prior art when vapor is admitted to enhance mixing.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 alternative methods for providing a porosity gradient over the length of the diptube 11 are shown.
- the diptube is not coated on the outside to seal pores, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, but the pores are made smaller or fewer in number at the upper end of the tube. This can be done either by using higher pressure or higher heat at the upper end while sintering during formation of the tube.
- the basic permeable diptube may be a poromeric plastic, such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polycarbonates, teflon, polyvinylchloride. These poromeric materials are characterized by having multidirectional pores throughout the plastic mass.
- the pore size may vary from about 0.1 to 30 microns and larger and the pore density, the measure of pores per unit area, typically may be 70 percent, but may be lower or higher.
- the pore size desired will be dependent on a number of factors such as the internal diameter of the tube, the viscosity of the fluid concentrate. In one particular application a tube having an internal diameter of 1/16 inch was used with a hair spray concentrate having a porosity of about 7 centistokes. In this instance, the desired pore size is from 1 to 5 microns and the pore density is from about 50 to 70 percent.
- the poromeric tube may be prepared by a number of different methods.
- the tube is made by casting of a polymer solution.
- a solution of polymer in which the compatibility of the solute and solvent is highly temperature dependent is cast or extruded.
- the solvent separates from the solute to form globules suspended in a polymer-solvent matrix. Removal of the solvent yields a porous material. Pore size is determined by the solution behavior of the components used and the rate of cooling of the solution and ranges from 0.1 microns to 11 microns.
- the tube is made by sintering of plastic beads in molds.
- Beads of plastic are rounded (made spherical) and sorted for size.
- the pore size is determined by the bead size and typically ranges from 10 microns to 30 microns and larger with normal techniques but can be made down to 0.2 microns with special techniques.
- a third method for making the diptube is by extrusion of a plastic with starch or salt suspended within.
- the starch or salt is removed by extraction in a hot bath.
- the starch requires hydrolysis to sugar by including acid in the extraction process.
- the size of the pores produced is dependent on the size of the salt or starch particles used and ranges from 10 microns downward. A pore density of 70 percent is obtained.
- the present invention is also applicable in an aerosol system having a valve and diptube means with more than one diptube.
- a valve and diptube means with more than one diptube.
- Such a system is disclosed in copending commonly assigned application Ser. No. 136,206, filed Apr. 1, 1980.
- a porous plastic diptube closed at the bottom is attached to the valve at one opening, and a second nonporous diptube, open at the lower end, is attached to a second opening in the valve.
- the product, phase III goes to the valve through the nonporous diptube, and the liquified propellant passes through the walls of the porous diptube.
- the porous diptube in this system can be made with a varying porosity gradient from top to bottom.
